Program Overview:

This highly interactive, in-person training is designed for professionals who want to strengthen their capacity to respond to stress with greater clarity, emotional steadiness, and intentionality. Rather than a lecture-based format, the session centers experiential learning and active participation, engaging attendees through psychodramatic action methods such as structured role play, guided imagery, movement-based exercises, and embodied reflection. Participants will work with real-life professional and personal stressors, allowing them to examine patterns, rehearse new responses, and deepen self-awareness in a supportive, facilitated environment.

Grounded in the R.I.S.E. framework—Regulation, Insight, Support, and Empowerment, the workshop integrates research-informed practices with hands-on application. Participants will leave with concrete tools they can immediately use in their work and daily lives, enhanced confidence in managing stress, and a deeper understanding of how experiential approaches promote resilience, connection, and sustained well-being.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

● Practice grounding strategies using simple body-based and relational tools to manage stress and maintain emotional balance.

● Use action methods to surface personal triggers and internal narratives that shape their responses to adversity.

● Explore how meaningful support systems buffer against burnout and commit to one tangible step to strengthen a supportive relationship.

● Create a concrete, strengths-based resilience plan—including specific next steps—tailored to their current or anticipated stressors.

Who Should Attend?

Ideal for professionals who work in high-stress, people-centered environments and want practical, embodied tools for managing stress and strengthening resilience. It is especially relevant for social workers, counselors, therapists, case managers, educators, healthcare and behavioral health professionals, supervisors, and nonprofit or community-based leaders
